Question

78 is what percent of 110

Answer 1

Answer: 70.909090909091%

Step-by-step explanation: Reading through the problem we have 78 is, that's 78 equals, what percent, x/100, of 110, times 110.

It's important to understand that percent means over 100 so what percent would simply mean x/100 or any variable but I will be using x.

So we have the equation $78 = \frac{x}{100} *110$

So cross canceling the 110 and 100 to 11 and 10, we have $78 = \frac{11x}{10}$

Multiply both sides by 10 to get rid

of the fraction and we have 780 = 11x.

Now divide both sides by 11 and 70.909090909091 = x.

So, 78 is 70.909090909091% of 110.
